NO.1Amazon launches Nova Act, an AI agent that can control web browsers

US tech giant Amazon announced on Monday the launch of Nova Act, an AI agent capable of performing web browser operations, and the launch of the Nova Act SDK toolkit for developers to build prototypes. Amazon has also become another technology company trying to break new ground in the field of AI agents after OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Chinese startup Manus AI. Similar to these competitors, Nova Act is also an app that allows "AI proxy users to perform basically online work", such as ordering food on food delivery platforms, restaurant reservations, etc. According to Amazon, Nova Act outperformed OpenAI and Anthropic competitors in a number of benchmarks.

Comments:Amazon's launch of Nova Act is significant. First, Amazon's entry as a trillion-dollar giant will intensify the competition on the AI agent track and accelerate the development of the industry. Second, Nova Act outperformed its competitors in some benchmarks, and if it can continue to optimize and solve the common flaws of existing AI agents, it is expected to be quickly promoted with Amazon's huge user base and further enhance Amazon's market position in the AI field.

NO.2"Apple Smart" is open globally and supports Chinese Simplified Chinese and other languages

美東時間3月31日，蘋果公司宣佈，“蘋果智慧”（Apple Intelligence）正式向全球更多用戶開放，為使用者提供一系列AI輔助能力，涵蓋文本創作、圖像生成與智慧通知等多個場景。此次更新與iOS 18.4、iPadOS 18.4 和 macOS Sequoia 15.4系統同步推出。從週一起，Apple Intelligence正式支援包括簡體中文、法語、德語、義大利語、葡萄牙語、西班牙文、日語和韓語在內的多種語言，並提供新加坡和印度版本的當地語系化英語。幾乎所有主要市場的使用者都可以使用Apple Intelligence功能，不再局限於早期的美英使用者。

NO.3OpenAI plans to release an open-source language model

OpenAI CEO Altman posted a "nuclear bomb": "We plan to release a powerful open-source model in the next few months." This time, OpenAI chose to return to its original intention of open-source - this is the first time that OpenAI has open-sourced a language model since GPT-2 in 0. Altman "confessed": I wanted to do it a long time ago, but the priority has not been ranked. Now that the time was right, the team decided that "this thing is getting important". Although the specific parameters were not disclosed, the official emphasized the goal with two "very": "to make it a very, very good model".

Comments:The news that OpenAI plans to release an open-source large model has a significant impact. Open source means the popularization of technology and the expansion of the ecosystem, which will attract more developers and enterprises to participate, accelerate the application of AI technology in various industries, and promote the development of the entire industry. For OpenAI, open source will help enhance its influence and voice in the AI field and attract more partners and users.

NO.4Google Launches TxGemma Open-Source Model to Accelerate Therapeutics Development

Recently, Google announced the launch of a new open-source model, TxGemma, designed to improve the efficiency of therapeutic drug development. Fine-tuned by Google's DeepMind team based on its advanced Gemma model family, the model combines powerful language understanding, scientific prediction, and multi-turn conversations to revolutionize drug discovery. The release of TxGemma is seen as an important advance in the field of artificial intelligence technology in the field of biomedicine, which is expected to significantly shorten the cycle of drugs from the laboratory to the clinic, while reducing the high R&D cost and failure rate.

Comments:For Google, this demonstrates its ability to apply AI technology across domains, potentially increasing its influence and business value in the biomedical technology field. For the biomedical industry, the emergence of TxGemma will promote the development of the industry towards intelligence and efficiency, and attract more resources to invest in related technology research and development. From the perspective of the stock market as a whole, this event may stimulate the market's attention to the concept of AI + biomedicine.

NO.5ChatGPT's native image generation feature has been rolled out to free users

ChatGPT近期推出的AI圖像生成功能引發了巨大反響，尤其是其“吉卜力風格”的圖像生成，受到了眾多網友的追捧。雖然官方還未宣佈，但OpenAI已將ChatGPT這一原生AI圖像生成功能向免費用戶開放。OpenAI此前於3月26日向全球所有ChatGPT Plus、Pro和Team使用者推出了原生圖像生成功能。由於該功能熱度過高，OpenAI首席執行官山姆・奧爾特曼此前在X平臺上表示，GPU因大規模使用而“過熱”。然而，該功能也引發了爭議。許多吉卜力工作室的粉絲和宮崎駿的擁躉認為這種行為近乎抄襲。

Comments:On the one hand, the opening of this function shows OpenAI's strong ability in AI technology innovation and application scenario expansion, which may enhance its influence and user stickiness in the field of AI creativity. On the other hand, disputes may trigger market concerns about copyright and ethical issues, affecting their market image and user trust. For the AI sector, this event is likely to drive the acceleration of technology competition and creative applications.
